Irrigation Reel For Sale

If you have an irrigation reel for sale, there are a number of ways you can lure prospective buyers. You can always stick the reel out on the sidewalk in front of your house with a "for sale" sign on it – but why not try the Internet as a way of hooking up with prospective buyers?

From eBay to Craigslist, hundreds of thousands of people connect on the web each day, many buying a selling merchandise. Furniture, cars, clothing ... anything you can think of is on the block somewhere on the Internet. Garden tools and irrigation equipment is no different, so putting your reel up for sale on the web makes good sense.

Even your local newspaper has gone global – most newspapers offer their classifieds online as well as in print, offering a wider readership (and buyer potential) for your ad.

When putting your reel up for sale, take time to write your ad carefully. List the make and model of the reel. How much, and what type, of hose does it feature? Is there anything special about the nozzle, or the attachments? Make sure to mention the type of motor, too. Tell your prospective buyer how long you've used your irrigation reel and on what type of crop – you may find a soy farmer who doesn't know what kind of reel is best will happily buy yours, if he knows you've used it to your soy crop!

If you're offering a trailer or an extra pump for sale with the irrigation reel, make sure to mention it. And then, of course, list your price – be honest when it comes to asking a fair price, and if you're willing haggle make sure you add "OBO" for "or best offer." Conversely, if you don;t want to negotiate price, say so – for example, "$6,000 firm."

Take a few minutes to scout around on the Internet before you place your ad, find the right place to list your reel, and before you know it the answer to "Irrigation reel for sale" will be, "I'll take it!"
